To quote the person I got this from: "I don't at all believe this is what is happening, but man would it ever make for a great plot for a disaster movie." 
In unrelated news, the other day Boing Boing posted this periodic table of swearing. It doesn't reflect actual elements, which puts it somewhat behind my appreciation for some other periodic-table-like-images I've seen (I saw posters awhile back of fruit and vegetable ones where the abbreviations were actually right, and I kinda wanted them for my kitchen) but it's organized on its own somewhat amusing principles, so that makes up for it.
In any case, I think #97 (Icc) is LOL-hilarious and needs to be used far more often.

Beyond that... Chris/hindmost, help??? :)Sunday, July 11 12:19 PM
